I am in a dilemma. My Sempron system is heating up quite a bit. I was suggested by my vendor to replace the thermal pad but he didn't know which one is good as none of his customers have ever demanded one. I wonder which one is better - pad / grease? I couldn't find AMD recommended thermal pads / greases. Also, I don't know which thermal pads / greases do we get in Mumbai. Can someone tell me where could I get these thermal pads / greases and which company do you recommend?
How do u know it's the processor. After all u can't touch it. It should actually be the fan and the dust on the heat sink. Unless u have removed the heatsink a couple of times.

The motherboard, CPU, and RAM is brand new. So no dust issues. I touched the heat sink to confirm the temperatures were indeed high. So the temperature sensor is not malfunctioning. The vendor had to remove the heatsink a couple of time when he switched the board. The first one I had gotten was a dead one...
